"We have considered your request and can confirm that our investigatory team is now looking to see if we can identify other similar clusters engaged in coordinated activity around the Brexit referendum that was not identified previously", writes Milner in the letter to Collins.

The House of Commons' Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) Committee said Simon Milner, the tech titan's head of policy in Britain, had vowed the company would now search for "clusters engaged in coordinated activity around the Brexit referendum" that appeared to have originated in Russian Federation.

"They are in the best position to investigate the activities of their platforms", he said.

The committee is conducting an inquiry into fake news and misinformation.

Russia-funded activity aimed at misinforming people and influencing U.S. and European elections has been a major issue across all social networks over the past year and a half. Facebook, Twitter Inc and Alphabet Inc's Google and YouTube have been under intense pressure in Europe and the United States to stop nations from using tech services to meddle in another country's elections, and to investigate when evidence of such meddling arises. Facebook said in December that it had found just 97 cents worth of advertising by Russia-based operatives ahead of Britain's vote to leave the EU. The investigation, however, was limited to a cluster of Russian accounts that had already been identified following probes into activity connected with the U.S. presidential campaign. While Twitter claimed Russian broadcasters had spent around $1,000 to run six Brexit-related ads on its platform.

But Damian Collins, chair of the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) Committee, criticised Facebook for doing "no work" on its initial investigation.

In its Brexit report, Facebook also only looked at known Russian trollfarm the Internet Research Agency pages or account profiles - which it had previously identified in its U.S. election disinformation probe. "I look forward to seeing the results of this investigation, and I'm sure we will want to question Facebook about this when we know the outcome".
